However, the news of Touch DJ's release should help to calm the mood; it enables you to mix tracks visually without pre-listening to them. Kick parts of displayed waveforms are shown in a different colour, so the theory is that you should easily be able to match them up.

For those who want to pre-listen, there is a Split mode, though this requires that you use a special L/R splitting adapter.

Other features include a low-pass filter on each track, spin and break effects, and an onboard sampler with three slots (this can accept WAV files and you can sample directly via the iPhone's built-in mic).

The downside is that Touch DJ can't directly access your iTunes music library (Apple won't allow it), so tracks have to be re-imported via a special utility.

Touch DJ costs £11.99/$19.99 and is available now from the App Store. To find out more, check out the video below.
